# Admin Dashboard — Social Proximity

## Purpose

The admin dashboard shows anonymised platform statistics — not to monitor users, but to understand if the nudge concept is working.

**What it shows:**
- How many sessions were started today / this week
- How many matches were made
- Which interest categories are most popular (no user-level breakdown)
- How many active sessions right now

**What it never shows:**
- Who matched with whom
- Where people were
- Individual user data of any kind

## Technology: Next.js (TypeScript)

Simple choice: TypeScript, server-side rendering, easy to deploy. No complex state management needed — stats are read-only and refreshed periodically.

```

## Environment Variables

```env
BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:8000
```

## Running Locally

```bash
cd admin
npm install
npm run dev    # runs on localhost:3000
```

## Access

In MVP the dashboard has no login. It should be deployed behind a reverse proxy with IP restriction or basic auth — not exposed publicly.
